What French Girls Actually Use

Most of my French friends don’t splurge on makeup. Like—at all. But they always look effortlessly polished. So I asked. Here’s what they actually use (and yes, I copied them). 🧼 Marseille soap as brow gel. Sounds wild? I thought so too. But brush a tiny amount into brows and boom—fluffy, locked-in, zero euros. 💧 Embryolisse moisturizer/primer. It’s like $10 in French pharmacies and all over metro ads. Yes, French girls really use it. Glowy but not greasy. 👁️ Bourjois Volume Mascara. It’s wet, intense, and yes, it gives spider lashes. Apparently that’s the look. It’s cheap and French girls love it. 💋 KIKO Double Lip Gloss in 102. Not the trendy “milk tea” shade we hype—French girls go for the cooler nude tones. Got mine for €7 during Black Friday. Turns out, looking good in Paris doesn’t cost much. It just takes good choices. #beauty #makeup #budgetfriendly
